English Language and Culture for Business

Exam time!

It’s exam time again! Nerves are flying high and people are starting to cram those last pieces of information into their brains before the day comes! All I can say is this:

IF you came to class, studied, read the material, did the practice exercises , and used the resources available to you over the past 8 months, you have been exposed to a lot of English! Have confidence in that!!!

On the other hand – don’t expect to be able to learn 8 months worth of material in a week. If you haven’t done much with English this year – don’t waste your time at the exam! As I say at the beginning of every year – it takes time and practice to learn a language.

SO – I have uploaded the 4 simulations that we have been doing for each group (B1 and B2) on the “Resources” page. You’ll find the text and the audio for each simulation. Remember – my simulations are directly related to the topic of the exam!

The texts this year come from the following books:

B1 Richard Nisbett – The Geography of Thought

B2 Niall Ferguson – The Ascent of Money.

Reading these books will help you for your exam. They’re only about 250 pages each. It is a great exercise, and you’ll learn a lot about your chosen subject of STUDY – language and culture for business.

I’ve tested the audio and text on the blog – they seem to work.

Good luck to everyone! It has been a great pleasure to be your professor this year! DO relax for the exams! Don’t try to learn 40.000.000 new things – just review what you know!!!!!!
